I love The Villages just the way it is! I call it a "resort" community instead of a retirement community because that's what it feels like and I think that's great! I love the mixture of ages, the renters, the snowbirds. I can't even imagine living in community that felt like a nursing home! Wow! Not for me!
I've been living here for over two years now and it just keeps getting better and better. My husband and I wake up and feel like we are on a wonderful extended vacation with the added plus of great friends living all around us.
From an advertising/marketing perspective (my background) the developers had a touch of genius when they added the lifestyle previews. The homes in TV sell like hotcakes. We bought on our second Lifestyle preview, but fell in love with TV on the first. We just had to go back up north and sell our house.
I have not witnessed any abuses. I'm sure there is the occasional incident. But the good farrrrrrrrrr outweighs the bad for sure.
